Notification Appliances

A notification appliance is an active component of life safety systems, and its primary function is to alert persons at risk. Alerting methods include sound (audible signals) and light (visible signals).

Electrical Area Classification

Electrical area classification is required by governmental bodies, such as OSHA and compliance is enforced. The National Electrical Code and NFPA 70 define area classification and installation principles. Division and Zone Classification locations are defined as the following:

Gas Detection for Wastewater Treatment Plants

Wastewater treatment (also called sewage treatment) facilities take disturbed or unhealthy water and make it environmentally safe. This water which can contain chemicals, oils and human waste, endures a process of cleansing which consists of chemicals and toxins that can become a potential threat to personnel at the facility or the facility itself.

Confined Space Entry

Vehicle Repair Facilities

The solution to pollution is dilution. The solution to vehicle exhaust in vehicle repair facilities is dilution with “fresh” air drawn in by fans, louvers and doors until reaching an acceptable gas concentration. Macurco gas detectors provide automatic exhaust fan control to help maintain acceptable levels of Carbon Monoxide (CO), Combustible Gases (EX) or Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) in parking garages.

Gas Detection for your Mechanical System

A building’s mechanical system is the heartbeat of the heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. These areas include utility plants, boiler and chiller rooms, mechanical or electrical rooms and fuel rooms. Many states are adopting laws that require the monitoring of these potentially hazardous environments.

Carbon Monoxide (CO) vs. Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

Gas Detection for the Cannabis Industry

With the increase of States legalizing marijuana for recreational and medicinal use, there has been a similar increase in the number of incidents caused by these Marijuana Grow Operations (MGO’s). The two categories regarding gas detection include explosion/fire fueled by combustible gases, and asphyxiation due to Oxygen (O2) displacement from Carbon Dioxide (CO2) leaks.

Carbon Dioxide CO2

Macurco Addressable Controller

Modbus is a commonly used communications protocol. Communications devices must agree on many aspects of the data to be exchanged before successful transmission can occur. Communication protocols are formal descriptions of digital message formats and rules.

Carbon Monoxide Detection in Schools

Across the United States there are only a few states that have carbon monoxide codes for schools. Unfortunately it takes a catastrophic accident before school officials, government officials, safety personnel, and parents take the necessary action to ensure students and staff are safe in schools.
